From the Desk of Rick Snow

Well another three months has gone by and its time for another
newsletter. I can't believe it's already summer. For those of you who
get to hot or sunburned on the beach don't forget were open 7 days a
week.

Very few of you have let us know which specials you like the most.
Please let our staff know what suggestions you'd like us to try. Our
August summer camp date is almost full so sign up your children now.
With all the track time they get, we guarantee they will be worn out at
the end of the day.

We are testing a new form of motor sport called drifting. We are
looking into whether this type of racing will work with go-karts and if
there is a demand in this area to justify the cost. Let us know what
your thoughts are. Remember drifting is more about kart control and not
about speed.

Stay Cool on the Track

Are you comfortable right now? How's your posture, are you to hot?

Race drivers don't have the comfort of A/C. If it's hot outside
it's a lot hotter in the race car. The best way to cope with the
external uncontrollable things is to control your environment. When you
race at Maine Indoor Karting, adjust your seat to the most comfortable
position, make sure the helmet is strapped and not to loose or tight.
Make sure you've gone to the facilities, and don't have anything except
racing to think about. As you're waiting for the race to start imagine
the best lap you've ever done. Where did I brake? When did I turn the
wheel and how much or how little did I turn the wheel to make each
turn. How soon could I get on the gas? All these questions are what you
should be thinking about before the green flag waves. The first few
laps should be to get the tires up to temperature and to feel the kart
and how it handles. The most important thing about racing like most
sports is to be consistent. Find your best line and try to copy it each
lap. Smooth is Fast.

Racing Lines & Passing As with any racetrack there are only one or two truly fast "racing lines" around our track . A "racing line", which also may just be referred to as the "best line", is an imaginary line that, if followed exactly, would result in the fastest way to get around the track. Most of the staff at Maine Indoor Karting can...
